NHS workers in Yorkshire and UK are honoured with grass painting in Mytholmroyd

Jamie Wardley, artistic director and founder of Mytholmroyd arts organisation, is unveiling the grass painting today ahead of tomorrow's #ClapForCarers event.

The art work is placed on a field near to Broadcliffe Architectural Fabrications in the Calderdale area.

Wardley said: "The 100 metre grass painting is a solo piece of work to celebrate and thank all the NHS staff working on the front line to fight the Coronavirus pandemic."
